slavery In ,saryIand.

A petition is being extensively circulated
in Maryland calling the attention of con-
gress to system of slavery existing on
vessels engaged in oyster dredging in the
waters of the Chesapeake bay and its tribu-
taries, which in its brutality. oppressioy
and horrible treatment has rarely been
equaled in history. Men are enticed, bn
false representations, to ship for a short pc
riod, and often are kidnapped and kept by
brutal force against their wills as slaves on
these vessels in the bay for three, and four
months. being transferred from one boat
10 another, kept at hard work without
proper provision, without pay, and under
the most cruel and horrible treatment.
Many of them have been murdered, and
the murderers never have been brought to
justice; and the suffering of these poor
men from maltreatment, as well as the eX-
posture to cold and the elements without
proper protection of the law, as there is no
police supervision over these waters; and
your petitioners pray that a committee may
be appointed by your honorable body to in
quire into this great grievance, and that
such laws may be passed as will remedy
this cruel wrong"
